Von der hinteren Coverseite

"You will not find a more honest and empowering book on the origins of life than this one"

Popular Old Testament scholar Peter Enns helps Christians who both accept evolution and want to take the Bible seriously reconcile Genesis and Paul with current views on evolution and human origins. This tenth anniversary edition offers an update on developments in the historical Adam debate. The first edition won a Foreword Magazine Book of the Year Award.

"Enns offers us another masterwork. The Evolution of Adam is a road map for how Christians of sincere faith can understand scriptural depictions of human origins while also accepting the theory of evolution via natural selection as scientific fact."
--Mike McHargue, science expert, bestselling author, and podcaster

"If you are a Christian, you should buy Enns's book. You will not find a more honest and empowering book on the origins of life than this one."
--Jonathan Merritt, contributing writer for The Atlantic; author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch

"Thoughtful, accessible, and timely. Enns facilitates a conversation between traditional approaches to reading the Scriptures and scientific understandings of the world, the cosmos, and the human species. His synthesis respects the faith and good intentions of religious readers as well as the scholarly and scientific bodies of knowledge of the last three centuries without constructing some sort of Frankensteinian hybrid."
--Wil Gafney, Brite Divinity School

"Enns revisits the evolution-creation debate, not to prove science or Scripture right or wrong or to find some unsatisfying coexistence between contrary thoughts but to read Scripture while seriously considering what evolution can contribute to the discussion. Such an approach can lead Christians to a new synthesis that frames Genesis and Paul in new ways."
--Miguel A. De La Torre, Iliff School of Theology

"A significant book for scholars and a rewarding read for the curious Christian."
--Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith after Doubt
